‘Woman tipping hand’ is named America’s most confusing emoji – but do YOU know what it means? 

If you’ve ever been confused by the meaning of an emoji, you’re not alone.

Emojis have become a crucial part of everyday communication, but their meaning can sometimes be misinterpreted, such as the upside-down smiley face and/or the person with folded hands.

But the most confusing thing for people across America is the “woman who tilts the hand,” according to a study conducted by To prepare last month.

Widely believed to express rudeness or sarcasm, the emoji shows a woman with her hand raised as if holding a tray of drinks or as if flipping her hair.

The “money with wings” and “nail polish” emojis came in at number two and number three on the list.

While 35 percent of Americans who took part in the survey interpreted the “woman flipping hand” emoji as “feeling cheeky,” 31 percent interpreted it as “I have a suggestion,” and 20 percent said they felt it was “sarcastic.” feel’ meant.

“I have no idea what people mean when they use these,” Saraya Weerasinghe, 18, of Kips Bay told The New York Post.

More than 1,000 Americans participated in the study. Their ages ranged from 18-76.

The second most confusing emoji is Money with Wings – which shows a bundle of money with wings.

The survey found that 40 percent of participants thought it symbolized making money, while 34 percent thought it meant losing money. Only 18 percent thought it meant “flaunting wealth.”

The nail polish emoji, which shows a hand being applied with nail polish, came in third. About 43 percent of Americans thought it meant “classy/bougie whole,” and 40 percent thought it meant “just nail polish.”

According to the study, 45 percent of participants thought the upside-down smiley emoji meant sarcasm, while 23 percent said the emoji symbolized passive aggressiveness

The inverted smiley came in fourth place among the most confusing emojis.

“The upside-down smiley face is definitely confusing because it could mean anything,” St. Francis College student Sabrina Tayeh, 18, of Brooklyn Heights, told The Post.

According to the study, 45 percent of participants thought it meant sarcasm, while 23 percent said the emoji symbolized passive aggressiveness and 37 percent said it was “smiling through pain.”

But there was 12 percent who said it was the same as the traditional smiley face.

“Sometimes I just don’t know what the emoji is supposed to mean, especially if an old person is using one,” Tayeh added.

“I purposely don’t send emojis to older people because I know they won’t understand what it means.”

Confusingly, the Unicode Consortium, which creates emojis, doesn’t specify the meaning of its images, meaning they’re left open to interpretation.

Preply spokesperson Matt Zajechowski said generational differences are a big reason for confusion when sending emojis.

The findings highlight “the need for context and clarity in digital conversations,” Zajechowski said of the study.

The study also highlighted the top five least recognizable emojis.

According to the research, there were nearly 300 people who were unaware that any of these meanings were attached to the emoji.

“Most people use other emojis — not this one,” said Tony Junior, 20.

These include the dotted face, the shooting star, the twins, and a person getting a head massage.
